“God’s Country” with brothers Dan and Reid Isbell is a rollicking weekly podcast that sits at the intersection of country music and the great outdoors. Each episode explores how today’s biggest and most talented country stars and songwriters pull inspiration from rugged, first-hand relationships with the natural world. Nashville songwriters by profession who spent their childhoods getting muddy in the wilds of Tennessee, Dan and Reid draw on their own passion for hunting and fishing to lead a thought-provoking and fun exploration of the fundamental role of outdoor living in country music.

Check This Out!
It’s about time the song writers get the glory in “God’s Country.” The outdoor stories are great and the podcast is smooth and easy to listen to. Thanks for not getting all political.
Everything I want in a podcast, except..
I don’t which one it is, but the constant interruptions is too much. It’s to the point where it’s so annoying I have to turn it off. The topics are my 2 favorite things, country music and hunting, but the one guy needs to relax.
Episode 11: The Rapture and a 9 piece.
This episode will make you laugh and laugh and laugh.
